Additional Skills

I'm a somewhat avid gamer, as such I know the importance of bringing real emotion to the character voices. The point of many video games is to lose yourself in another world, and nothing ruins that experience like dull, monotone voices coming from characters, who are supposed to feel like real people to keep the player interested.
